Ground beef is less healthy than manufactured chocolate candy and HFCS-laden breakfast cereal?
So, the meat sauce I just made with my own onions, garlic, heirloom tomatoes, and beef is LESS healthy than processed flour and sugar with no other nutritional components?

I’m a terrible person. I buy Lucky Charms because my three year old granddaughter believes eating the blue moon shaped marshmallows allow her to become invisible. She doesn’t eat the cereal part of the Lucky Charms; only the marshmallows, and mostly the blue ones. I know they are terrible but the ability to disappear at will is a crucial part of childhood development. I always include a fresh fruit on the side, but I still felt a tinge of shame reading this article.
"In a new paper published in Social Science & Medicine, lead author Dr. Peggy J. Kleinplatz of the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine suggests the sudden cessation of menstruation among Jewish women at concentration camps was too uniform to be effected only by trauma and malnutrition—a set of explanations readily accepted by the late 1940s and rarely investigated further..."
"...Evidence for the theory put forth by Dr. Kleinplatz and co-author Paul Weindling, a historian and professor at Oxford-Brookes University, is backed up by interviews with female Holocaust survivors across the globe. From 2018 to 2021, Dr. Kleinplatz conducted interviews with survivors in four languages: Yiddish, Hebrew, English and French. Ultimately, 93 complete testimonies were collected from female survivors—their average age 92½—or their offspring who could provide complete reproductive histories for the survivors.
The Holocaust survivors told Dr. Kleinplatz they suspected that something in their food rations caused them to suddenly stop menstruating at the camps.
One woman, who had worked in the kitchen at Auschwitz for months when she was a teenager, even described packets of chemicals that were brought each day under armed guard and dissolved into foul soups the female captives were fed so that "women don't get their periods." This narrative of tainted rations is corroborated by findings in a 1969 report that questioned cooks at Auschwitz, the most notorious of the Nazi death camps.
There was long-term impact for the survivors. Nearly all the interviewed women—98%—were unable to conceive or carry to term their desired number of children. The findings report that of 197 confirmed pregnancies, at least 48 (24.4%) ended in miscarriages, 13 (6.6%) in stillbirths and 136 (69.0%) in live births."
You will never have to feel bad again if you can come up with a new and better game for your granddaughter. Make it fun. Make it healthy. She will trust you as she does now. It won't be easy (I know this from my kids). Sugar is a drug (let aside the other artificial stuff that makes things blue). Good luck!
Wish I had seen your post a week ago as I would have included that clown!

Thanks for bringing attention to this again, Ben! It's been infuriating and very sobering to peel back the onion's layers of the past 2-3 years. My eyes and eras are metaphorically burning and so much unlearning has to be done. Considering the powers that be, it all makes sense though. A lot of this stuff isn't really new information. Unfortunately, most of us just move on because it's too inconvenient to do anything about it (see Granny's comment that just popped up below). But to realize that so many things we thought as kids or even recently to be true aren't... Who could have imagined that?
i often imagine that this time would be very strange for anyone in the boomer or, to a lesser extent, Gen X age bracket, who grew up believing their institutions were actually there to serve their interests. I think the younger generations grew up with more skepticism/cynicism about the state.
There is ignorance in every generation. More Boomers can name the 3 branches of government than any other generation. We also were the generation up in arms about Waco and Ruby Ridge. It was the generations who followed us who blindly went to college and display a total lack of understanding of the Bill of Rights, Personal Responsibility and Individual Liberty.

I just died laughing.
They really are just trying to kill us.
ARE YOU A SCIENCE DENIER? ;)

They are allegedly magical. Maybe she's on to something. Perhaps a cost-benefits analysis -- invisibility vs GMO/glyphosate -- is in order?
She likes the 5mg blue marshmallows, and they are magical. I’m mostly just happy she throws the cereal away.
